Multiverse, maker of a free MMO-creation platform, plans to announce Friday morning that it's struck a deal with Fox Licensing to turn the show into an MMORPG in the fashion of Star Wars Galaxies or Eve Online.

Imagine if done right... this could be so awesome..

And just for a second forget Firefly. This could be a game about Space Pirates!! Think Privateer!!!! Man I miss Wing Commander.

Anyway... what do you mean you aren't a big fan of Firefly? You mean I have to gut you and string you from the ceiling by your own intestines?

The biggest clan that had ruled the roost for years, years... was taken down by one guy who recruited a conspirator. Again MMOs are just at a level of nerdhood I can't go to, but reading about that was pretty cool.

Plus, it's like years old but it still looks freaking awesome.
